Because existing code in crypto uses sizeof(u64) when converting ndigits 
to number of bytes and '8' is not used for converting to bytes. Do we 
need to change this now ? No, I think it's better to conform to existing 
code.

# grep -rI ndigits crypto/ | grep sizeof\(u64\)
crypto/ecrdsa.c:        unsigned int ndigits = req->dst_len / sizeof(u64);
crypto/ecrdsa.c:            req->dst_len != ctx->curve->g.ndigits * 
sizeof(u64) ||
crypto/ecrdsa.c:        vli_from_be64(r, sig + ndigits * sizeof(u64), 
ndigits);
crypto/ecrdsa.c:            ctx->curve->g.ndigits * sizeof(u64) != 
ctx->digest_len)
crypto/ecrdsa.c:            ctx->key_len != ctx->curve->g.ndigits * 
sizeof(u64) * 2)
crypto/ecrdsa.c:        ndigits = ctx->key_len / sizeof(u64) / 2;
crypto/ecrdsa.c:        vli_from_le64(ctx->pub_key.y, ctx->key + ndigits 
* sizeof(u64),
crypto/ecrdsa.c:        return ctx->pub_key.ndigits * sizeof(u64);
crypto/ecdh.c:      params.key_size > sizeof(u64) * ctx->ndigits)
crypto/ecc.c:   size_t len = ndigits * sizeof(u64);
crypto/ecc.c:           num_bits = sizeof(u64) * ndigits * 8 + 1;
crypto/ecdsa.c: size_t bufsize = ndigits * sizeof(u64);
crypto/ecdsa.c: size_t bufsize = ctx->curve->g.ndigits * sizeof(u64);
crypto/ecdsa.c: ndigits = DIV_ROUND_UP(digitlen, sizeof(u64));
